WHAT IS EXPECTATION?
1. Expectation is the mother of Manifestation.
2. It is Simply Saying Yes to what is written for you, oppositions notwithstanding.
3. It is the inner strength propelling you to keep believing even in the midst of pains.
4. It is the Power that produces Answers and Results.

3. Martha. Luke 10:38
4. Mary. John 2:1-5
5. Jesus Christ. John 2:7.
-Nothing comes to pass without expectations.
-What you are not expecting, you are not permitted to receive.
-Miracles are birthed when there is a strong expectation.
-Prophecies get fulfilled through expectations. Gen. 18:1-14.
-What you don’t see coming will never come. And what you don’t expect, you don’t see delivered.
-Expectation sets the pace for proofs in life. Heb. 11:1
-Your situation should not determine your expectation, but your expectations should determine your situation.
-It is what you conceive and incubate that He will deliver to you.
-The waiting periods are not just the watching periods. They are seasons of working our way to what we are waiting for.
